For dosing systems, precise control of the amount of medication added is crucial, therefore the accuracy and stability of flow meters are particularly important.
Choosing the appropriate electromagnetic flowmeter is crucial in water treatment applications, as it directly affects the efficiency, reliability, and maintenance costs of the system.
The factors that affect the selection of electromagnetic flow meters are as follows:
1. Medium characteristics:
Confirm that the measured medium is conductive, as electromagnetic flow meters are only suitable for conductive liquids.
Consider the temperature, pressure, corrosiveness, etc. of the medium to ensure that the material of the selected flowmeter can withstand it.
2. Flow range and accuracy requirements:
Understand the minimum and maximum flow rates required for measurement, as well as the required measurement accuracy, in order to select a flow meter with the appropriate range.
3. Installation location:
Consider factors such as pipeline size, length requirements for straight pipe sections, and whether horizontal or vertical installation is necessary.
4. Environmental conditions:
Assess the environmental conditions at the installation site, such as temperature, humidity, explosion-proof requirements, etc., to ensure that the flow meter can operate normally under these conditions.
5. Signal output and communication protocol:
Determine the required output signal type (such as 4-20mA, HART, Profibus, etc.) to ensure compatibility with existing control systems.
6. Protection level:
Choose the appropriate protection level (such as IP65, IP68) based on the installation location to protect the instrument from dust and water.
7. Economy:
Compare the price performance ratio of different brands and models, while considering the long-term operating costs, including calibration, maintenance, and other expenses.
